chocolate mocha cookies

nigella lawson has a great recipe for chocolate cookies.  i modified her chocolate mint cookies by using another flavored cocoa this time.  i chose to use a ghiradelli chocolate mocha flavored cocoa and these cookies were quite tasty.
preheat the oven to 350 degrees
cream 3/4 cup of light brown sugar with 1/2 cup of soft butter.  add one egg and 1 tsp vanilla extract.  then mix the dry ingredients together.  ( 1/3 cup baking cocoa, 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1 cup flour)  slowly add these to the mixer to incorporate.  then stir in 1 cup of bittersweet chocolate chips.

these cookies can be glazed, but i chose to serve them without the glaze this week. bake for 12 minutes and allow to cool.
